Fig 1 Change in peak VO2 over time in individual Fontan patients according to the presence of morphologically right (solid circles) or left (empty circles) ventricle. Solid and dashed lines indicate the average of the individual slopes of decrease of peak Vo2 in patients with morphologically right versus left ventricles, respectively. (Vo2 = oxygen uptake.)

Fig 2 Change in peak Vo2 over time in individual Fontan patients according to the type of Fontan surgery. Solid circles indicate atriopulmonary or atrioventricular connections; empty circles refer to intracardiac or extracardiac TCPC. The dashed and solid lines, respectively, indicate the average of the individual slopes of decrease of peak Vo2 in patients with, versus without, a TCPC. (TCPC = total cavopulmonary connection; Vo2 = oxygen uptake.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
